​

5. Lawful Bases for Using Your Information

UK data protection law requires a lawful basis for processing personal information.

Depending on the circumstances, Dave Drew Fine Art may rely on:

Contract — where processing is necessary to take steps at your request before entering into a contract or to perform a contract with you, such as processing an order or providing a Private Commission.

Legal obligation — where information must be retained or used to comply with legal, accounting or regulatory requirements.

Legitimate interests — where processing is reasonably necessary for operating and protecting Dave Drew Fine Art, administering customer relationships, responding to enquiries, preventing misuse and resolving disputes, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights and interests.

Consent — where you have specifically agreed to a particular use of your information and consent is the appropriate lawful basis.

​

6. Marketing Communications

If Dave Drew Fine Art offers email marketing or similar promotional communications, these will only be sent where permitted by law.

Where your consent is relied upon, you may withdraw that consent at any time.

You can also ask me to stop sending direct marketing communications at any time.

​

7. Payments

Payments made through the website may be processed using third-party payment providers.

Dave Drew Fine Art does not need to receive or retain your complete payment-card details where these are processed securely by the payment provider.

Payment providers process information according to their own privacy and security arrangements.

​

8. Sharing Your Information

I do not sell personal information.

Information may, however, be shared where reasonably necessary to provide the services you have requested or operate the business. This may include:

  • website and e-commerce service providers;

  • payment processors;

  • professional printing and framing laboratories;

  • delivery and courier companies;

  • IT, hosting and other technology providers;

  • professional advisers such as accountants or legal advisers where necessary; and

  • government, regulatory or law-enforcement authorities where disclosure is legally required.

Only information reasonably necessary for the relevant purpose will be shared.

​

9. Website Hosting and Wix

The Dave Drew Fine Art website is created and operated using Wix.

Wix may process certain personal and technical information in connection with website hosting, forms, e-commerce, security, analytics and other website functionality.

The way in which Wix processes information is also governed by its own privacy practices.

​

10. International Data Transfers

Some technology, website, payment or other service providers may process information outside the United Kingdom.

Where personal information is transferred internationally, appropriate safeguards will be used where required by UK data protection law.

​

11. How Long I Keep Your Information

Personal information will not be kept for longer than reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected.

Different information may be retained for different periods.

For example, transaction and financial records may need to be retained for the period required by tax and accounting law, while enquiry information that does not lead to a booking or purchase may be deleted sooner.

Information may also be retained where reasonably necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

When information is no longer required, it will be securely deleted or otherwise disposed of where reasonably practicable.

​

12. Photographs and Portrait Artwork

Photographs created by Dave Drew Fine Art may contain personal data where an identifiable person appears in an image.

The use of photographs of dogs and finished portrait artwork is also governed, where applicable, by the relevant Private Commission terms, Model Portrait Agreement and Dave Drew Fine Art Terms & Conditions.

Where photographs contain identifiable people, their use will be considered separately from photographs or artwork depicting dogs alone.

​

13. Keeping Your Information Secure

Reasonable technical and organisational measures are used to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration or disclosure.

However, no internet-based system or method of electronic storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

​

14. Your Data Protection Rights

Depending on the circumstances and the lawful basis being used, UK data protection law may give you rights concerning your personal information.

These can include the right to:

  • request access to personal information held about you;

  • ask for inaccurate information to be corrected;

  • request deletion of your information in certain circumstances;

  • request restriction of processing in certain circumstances;

  • object to certain uses of your information;

Not every right applies in every circumstance.

You also have the right to object at any time to the use of your personal information for direct marketing.

If you wish to object to processing, please contact me through the Contact page.

​

16. Withdrawing Consent

Where I rely upon your consent to process personal information, you may withdraw that consent at any time.

Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing that took place before consent was withdrawn.

​

You also have the right to make a complaint to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the UK's data protection regulator.
